First post

I have always made stuff, especially with thrifted and vintage fabrics or bits and pieces I have around. It seemed a good idea to share some of these, especially as it will, I hope, keep me inspired to do more.


I made these square pillow cases from some vintage French metis fabric pieces I found in a "vide grenier" in Brittany some time ago. The fabric was the top part of an old sheet - the bit that shows when the sheet is turned over at the top of the bed. I suppose that the rest of the sheet had worn out...


So, with some careful positioning to make best use of the embroidery, and some mother of pearl buttons - here they are.

There wasn't enough fabric for the backs of the covers, so they were made from some white cotton I had in my collection.
